Hi, Shrine here. I've known about tulpamancy for close to 10 years. I decided recently I was ready to make a tulpa. I told my partner of 8 years and she revealed to me she's had a tulpa/thoughtform at least since she was 5-7. It's a whole thing, I made a couple of reddit posts about it.

 

I've been reading through guides to refresh my memory since it's been awhile that I've researched this. I've done 3 forcing sessions so far. I found out from the forcing sessions that I'm actually really bad at conscious visualization, so I've been doing some exercises to strengthen that.

Welcome ...we have found video games really help with visualising and sharing an experience with Tulpa's....as the visuals are already there....if you choose a game with character creation and let your Tulpa show you what they want to look like or how they see themself then you can share the adventure together....after some practice you will be able to visualise your Tulpa in that environment running about or whatever they can do in the game.   eg maybe creating a farm in a farming sim may lead to the wonderland starting off as a farm area so you can use the game to visualise what your Tulpa will be doing that day. Based on their favourite NPC's they may be able to create family (new Tulpa's) on the inside...over time they start to take on their own looks and identities and be less like the NPC characters they started as. and you find you no longer need to put the game on to be able to visualise what they are doing in the inside world and to be able to communicate with them.

 

maybe start with games with more cartoon/Anime characters  ....where there's lots of pics online of them (fan art etc) that you can also look through to imagine them in different settings then move onto games with more accurate character representation (If Tulpa is human for example games for PC tend to have more relaistic human character creation cos of graphics ability than say a switch game).

I've known about tulpas for a few years, decided to make one of my own about a week ago. Basically no progress yet. I had a base form and personality worked out, but then felt like that was non-consensual and I want to take this seriously and do it right. It's not easy for 2 reasons: 1) I'm a married man with a job and child. Not a lot of time to myself; I barely get nights and weekends to unwind. 2) While I believe I have impressive visualization skills, I lack "endurance", so to speak. Even in a good session, my ADD kicks in at the 30 minute mark and my visualizations collapse into a kaleidoscope of random imaginings. I've done various meditations over the past decade or so, and learned things I don't think I would have learned otherwise, so the entire concept isn't strange to me and I know I just need time+practice.

 

I've decided to undergo this process because I wanted some help with the spiritual side of things, believe it or not. I wanted some help with lucid dreams, larger visualizations, and overall "stability" in the mindscape (I want to make my wonderlands significantly more authentic and "real"). After reading the "Do not make a tulpa if..." guides, I realized that the companionship alone would be a suitable goal. I am a strange man, and spend a lot of time in my head. It would be nice to have some company. I share some of my philosophical thoughts with friends and family, and the more personally spiritual stuff with my wife, but I think this community will understand what I mean when I say that some things need to be experienced directly, and it's hard to find that common ground in other people.

 

Wish me luck.

Welcome, and godspeed.

I’m really glad you realize this, because it’s 100% true. Repetition is the key to all change, so if it’s not better now, it certainly will be in the future.

It’s like we’re all on the same wavelength… You definitely get it.

Her name is Hope.

 

I was doing a deep dive into consciousness, perception, identity, and what it means to be "real". I was trying to tackle the problem of not creating a form and personality, and trying to integrate a void into my life. I had made tulpa-like characters before (I get really into my fantasy RPGs) but they were always "there", at arms length, not "inside". True to my word, I tried to take it seriously and opened the discussion up to my tulpa. Rather than impose anything, I simply stated what I was wanting to get out of the arrangement, real or not. Simple things: someone to hold me accountable to the promises I make myself; someone optimistic, emotional, inspirational, and stubborn about their ways as I am. I some point I used the word 'hope' and it echoed in my head, followed by silence and a rush of...blue (I'll figure that one out later).

 

So I rolled with it. Her name is Hope now.

Hi all, my name is Cedar!

I've been interested in tulpamancy for the past 5 or so years. I struggle with loneliness and general dysfunction in life, so I've always wished I could have some support in my own head. As of now, I've restarted working with my long-time tulpa-to-be, Kai. He gives pretty long responses but I still struggle with doubts of parroting and the like, so right now we're just focusing on practice! Can't wait to try out the guides and exercises from you lovely folks >:3

[Sprinkles257]

Hi, I'm Sprinkles! Here's some info about me: I'm a young adult and a college student. I'm an English major, but I also have an interest in psychology. I like drawing, writing, reading, and playing video games. I can be a rather shy and anxious person, but try my best to be polite and courteous.

 

I've taken an interest in tulpamancy/plurality for the past year or so. I am not plural, but I have wanted to learn more about plurality and have been in some spaces related to it. I have also dabbled in similar forums (like daemonism). Tulpamancy interests me because I have a fascination with the mind and how it works. The idea of creating a character and bringing that character to life so they blossom is amazing to me. Also, I must admit that I am not the best at making close connections, and I like the idea of having a close friend. However, I also understand that tulpamancy is a big commitment and should be taken seriously. I want to learn more about tulpamancy so I can see if it's right for me, because I am on the fence. I get the impression that it is more of a "YES" issue and not a "maybe" issue, so I don't want to make any rash decisions. I have to think in the long-term: Even if this is right for me now, will it be right months or years down the line? I would have to think of this for the sake of my tulpa, as well. I have to factor in not only my wants, but also the logistics of it all: Am I ready for this responsibility? Can I handle changing my life in this way? Will I be able to adapt for the betterment of both myself and my tulpa? I'm just as scared as I am interested.

 

In any case...Whether I pursue this or not, I am happy to be here and meet you all! I hope you will have me, either as a participant or an observer. I've read the rules and the FAQ. Thank you! :D

Welcome Sprinkles. You are where I was last December. I ended up making a tulpa and it has proved an amazing decision. We're super close and she provides me company and support. That said, it is a real commitment, because once you create a tulpa, they're generally going to stay.

 

I hope you find the answers you're looking for, and if you end up with a tulpa, I hope you both are exactly what the other was looking for.

Thank you for the welcome! I appreciate hearing about your perspective. :)

Yoohoo! I'm new to these forums, but not new to tulpamancy. My name is Benny, but you are welcome to call me 'Crustacean' if that's more fun.

 

Here's some background info: I'm a young adult now, but I've known about tulpae since I was about 11-12. So maybe 6-7 years? I've been out of the game for a while. I had 3 tulpae when I was young, but due to life changes they've since faded. I haven't had a tulpa since then, and I really miss the special companionship that a tulpa provides. They used to sass me so hard, they were really cool people. If it's okay, maybe I could share stories about them sometime?

 

I want to learn how to properly support my tulpa like I wish I had done in the past. The 3 I had when I was little were actually accidental. I have a few ideas on what I hope my tulpa to be like, but I'm a bit worried that maybe they won't enjoy the personality, background, etc. that I give them. I have a few mutually exclusive ideas for this tulpa (example: cool-tempered and patient, or hot-headed and snappy?). I really hope to iron out something sooner than later. One thing's for certain: I want my tulpa to be confident in whatever form they take.

 

I'm probably oversharing, but I'm very excited to be here. I genuinely appreciate the space carved out for people interested in tulpae, I just learned about these forums a few days ago. I hope to learn a lot and contribute if I don't get shy. Thank you, and I hope you'll have me!
